Currently, there are 2 Handbook sections that deal with upgrading ports:
5.6.3. Upgrading Ports (which describes the use of the portmaster and portupgrade ports)
and
23.3. Portsnap: a Ports Collection Update Tool (which describes the built-in portsnap)
I would like to combine these into 5.6.3.
Do we want to encourage the use of third-party utils or just encourage the use of the built in one?
If just the built in one, I'll replace 5.6.3 with the contents of 23.3 and reduce portmaster/portupgrade to a note that these utils are available in the ports collection.
If we should describe all three, I'll place 23.3 as the first utility to be described in 5.6.3.
Cheers,
Dru
